Sector Focus

  • Energies, metals, stock indexes, grains, softs and meats.

Analysis Preference

  • When analyzing the markets knowing the fundamentals is the first step. From there technical analysis and timing are key to entering and exiting positions. Knowing when the first notice day and option expiration is very important as markets can shift or accelerate at this point. Ken prefers Fibonacci retracements, ascending and descending triangles, pennants , trend-lines and several other technical tools.

Strengths and Trading Philosophy

  • Ken tries not to make it too complicated. Know how much you want to risk. Lock in profits using stops. Generally, Ken doesn't like turning winners into losers.
